Si Muxia gave a yelp and bumped into Tong Su, winking mischievously as she teased, "Tsk tsk, what a cheesy love talk! You're having puppy love, Tong Yang! But don't worry, I won't tell your parents! Hey, your car's here!"
Tong Su was laughing and talking to her when she heard the sound and turned around to see a black car slowly driving up.
Through the car window, a handsome man with a calm expression leaned back, his eyes gentle, while she smiled and squinted her eyes.
For some reason, the man's face seemed slightly bluish, and a flash of annoyance crossed his eyes.
It seemed as if he was extremely angry and regretful about something.
But he quickly put it away.
"Wow! What a handsome man! Tongyang, isn't he?" Si Muxia poked Tong Su's waist and giggled.
Tongsu laughed and playfully hit her: "We can't go shopping today, let's make plans another day?"
"Sure, I'll help you pick out a gift. But, hehe, you can tell me all about it after school starts!"
The two said goodbye with laughter and banter. Tong Su ran all the way to the car, still out of breath, and asked with a smile, "How many of you came?"
The man handed her a carton of warm milk, saying casually, "I just arrived and happened to see you talking to your classmate. What were you talking about? What gift?"
“You misheard me, we didn’t say anything,” she said, pretending to poke open the milk carton with her straw. “We were talking about the exam.”
Huo Xuanxi gently curved the corners of her lips, her coldness vanished instantly, and her gaze softened even more.
"You got first place, that's great, you deserve praise."
He picked Tongsu up for dinner, and when he got home that evening, he took Tongsu to the home theater, a rare occasion where he didn't work overtime, and they watched a movie together.
A notorious horror film with an original English audio.
A home theater, a cramped sofa, dim lighting—the man's seemingly respectable appearance belies his despicable intentions, which are obvious to everyone.
Tong Su found it amusing, but pretended not to notice. However, when the ghost appeared, she didn't rush into his arms in terror as he had hoped. Instead...
"N and NSR both mean the devil; I need to remember them."
She pulled out a notebook from somewhere, and with a serious expression, started taking vocabulary notes while watching a movie.
Huo Xuanxi: ""
My plan to lure a little girl into hugging me while watching a movie failed.
Huo Xuanxi did not give up. After the monthly exam, during the National Day holiday, on the eve of the start of the new semester, Huo Xuanxi placed the two boxes in front of Tong Su.
“I was planning to reward you for getting first place last time, but those idiots insisted that we couldn’t have three days to play, and they’ve dragged it out until now,” he coughed lightly to cover his embarrassment. “I don’t know what you like, so I’ve prepared two gifts for you.”
Actually, it was him who prepared that place.
The small box contains a pink diamond necklace, specially set and crafted by a master craftsman.
The large box was a gift from Fifth Master to the girl upon their first meeting.
"My nephew's wife! In my lifetime, I, Huo Laowu, will actually see you have such a cute and adorable child?! I want to meet my nephew's wife!"
Maitreya Buddha's chubby face beamed like a trembling old chrysanthemum, and he rubbed his hands together excitedly: "She got first place? What a wonderful little girl, I'll give her a gift!"
Upon hearing the news that Huo Xuanxi had finally blossomed again, Fifth Master was overjoyed and had no time to care about Huo Xuan'an.
In his own words, "Age and status, what do they matter! Don't think she's just Erzai's ex-girlfriend. Even if they were to get married, if you took a fancy to her, Uncle Wu would bring people to help you snatch her away!"
In the blink of an eye, he went from being called "Xuan An" to "Second Child".
If Young Master Huo were here, he would surely be so moved that he would be speechless and burst into tears.
